Careful doing stuff like this man. It should be easy, the point is for you to smoke weights now and build confidence. Save the ego for the Anchor.

Welp no 355x5 pr. I hesitated after the second rep then just racked it. Idk why. I probably had the strength to do one set of 5. I figured I would just try it again as a joker set and I got 3 lol. Still a cool training day tho.

Hell yeah man, awesome lift. Iāve been finding the mental side of squats is definitely a limiting factor when the weights get heavy. Iām sure youāll get into the right mindset next time. Good stuff dude, youāre consistently making progress on everything, couldnāt ask for more!

Ok now 355 is just bullying me at this point. I will just hopefully hit during a test day and not a training day where I do a bunch of belt-less reps before that.

Oh how fucking convenient a winter storm starting tomorrow. Fuck this weather.
Back to lifting.
I had to shovel since it snowed a foot sunday-tuesday on thursday in order for it to be safe for me to lift on the back porch.
Welp yk part of todays failure couldāve been as a result from shoveling.
That being said. Itās a fresh day and just warming up as usual. I find todays performance insulting. It wasnāt even a training day just a testing day.
355x2 then I tried to redeem myself a set after then did 355x1
And yk I was aiming for 5 after this It was just so heavy and itās as if everything Iāve done during this whole coffinworm was irrelevant cause thatās lower than what I should be able to do before coffinworm.
To top it all off itās gonna snow another fucking 6 inches tomorrow. I donāt even know how strong I am anymoreā¦
Iām repeating this damn cycle
Hey man, canāt always be at the top of your game. We all ebb and flow physically. Shoveling is pretty physically demanding for sure.
How is nutrition and stuff going? Gaining weight? Losing weight?
355x2 is an achievement no matter which way you slice it, you should be proud. Maybe redoing the cycle wouldnāt be a terrible idea and the environment youāre lifting in will improve and youāll be able to make the progress you want!

I started eating 2 meals a day instead of 3 ever since the snow started last sunday. I didnāt get good sleep last night. I went to be bed at 2 and woke up around 7 last night.
I guess ever since school started and it snowed it kicked me out of the mentality. Iām still furious tho. The motherfucking forecast sucks horse cock for all next week.
I appreciate you listening to me tho man. It helps venting.

Yeah man, circumstances are always changing, it sucks but itās a fact of life. Once you get back into the groove of school and winter and stuff itāll get better.
Not a problem at all man. Vent away.

Made a squat pr on monday 355x4. Maybe my goal of 355x5 is possible next week. Clearly I lost a bit of strength on the deads considering the last time I did them was 2 weeks and one day ago and I got 415 for 5. Well I hope I can regain that strength quickly.

Hell yeah man, lots of PRs lately
Back. This whole week has been super busy.
This is from the session on monday.
Squat:250x5 285x5 320x5 285x5 320x3 355x5
Finally got 355x5 during training
Ok I can kinda tell but it is filmed at a weird angle, depth definitely couldāve been better on like 2 reps but itās whatever. I butchered bar path on the 2nd rep which screwed me over for the set. Still a pr tho i am happy.
